Dunston Power Station, dominates the centre left of the photograph with Vickers Engineering Works across the Tyne. The Newcastle to Carlisle railway line bisects the image and you can pick out an engine on the line almost in the centre of the shot. Work on the Metro Centre began in 1984 on the large area derelict land on the left. The famous Dunston ‘Rocket’ flats can be seen on the horizon.

Dunston, Tyne and Wear
–
Dunston is the most Westerly part of the town of Gateshead on the south bank of the River Tyne, in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, North East England. Dunston had a population of 18,326 at the 2011 Census, Dunston is served by Dunston railway station, on the Tyne Valley Line. Dunston is now split into two areas separated by the well known A1 dual carriageway, which runs through Dunston. Much of the south of the A1 is known as Dunston Hill. To the west of Dunston is the site of Dunston Power Station, the site is now home to Costco, with the MetroCentre, occupying the former site of the stations ash ponds. The Gateshead-based Go-Ahead Group, has constructed a new bus depot to replace its Sunderland Road, another Dunston landmark was the Derwent Tower, a tower block that was once the highest building in Gateshead. It was designed by the Owen Luder Partnership and completed in 1973, a somewhat infamous structure, that had appeared in two films, it was finally demolished in 2012. Having always proved unpopular with residents, and fallen into such a poor condition, as of 2016, the remainder of the late 1960s Tower Court development is being gradually replaced by new housing and shops. Luder also designed the similarly maligned Trinity Centre Multi-Storey Car Park, on 6 June 1993 the IRA attacked a gas holder in the nearby area of Low Team. The damage was limited, and no one was injured, Dunston is particularly known for wooden coal staiths, first opened in 1893 as a structure for loading coal from the North Durham coalfield onto ships. In the 1920s,140,000 tons of coal per week were loaded from the staiths, throughout their working life, motive power for shunting wagons on the staiths and in their extensive sidings known as the Norwood Coal Yard came in the form of locomotives from Gateshead MPD. The staiths output gradually declined with the contraction of the coal industry, for many years, the men who worked on the staiths, known as teemers and trimmers, had their own room in the nearby Dunston Excelsior Club. The staiths was restored and opened to the public as part of the Gateshead Garden Festival in 1990, following events in Liverpool, Stoke-on-Trent. The Garden Festival was divided into five zones, Norwood, Eslington, The Boulevard, Dunston and it was spread over a large area of Dunston and the lower Team Valley, formerly occupied by heavy industries. Though other parts of the Garden Festival site, such as Dunston, Eslington, today, the staiths are reputed to be the largest wooden structure in Europe, and are protected as a Listed Building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. In 2002, work began on a development of riverside apartments, known as Staiths South Bank, this development celebrates the areas heritage as well as improving the setting for the historic structure. In the early hours of 20 November 2003, a section of the staiths was destroyed by fire. As a result, access onto the Staiths themselves is not possible, in 2005 Gateshead Council commissioned a study into possible options for the Staiths restoration

Adobe Photoshop Elements
–
Adobe Photoshop Elements is a raster graphics editor for entry-level photographers, image editors and hobbyists. It contains most of the features of the professional version but with fewer and simpler options, the program allows users to create, edit, organize and share images. It is a successor of Adobe Photoshop LE, for example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also includes a set of Photoshop plugins, and instead has a number of features aimed at non-experts. An example of a feature would be the Variations correction dialog. Some versions can, however, open, edit, and save PDFs, the program does not allow keyboard shortcuts to be added through the Mac System Preferences, as can be done with virtually all other programs for Mac. Version 13 no longer supports the Windows XP platform, note, Adobe Photoshop Elements on Mac OS X is available in English, French, German and Japanese languages.

Color space
–
A color space is a specific organization of colors. In combination with physical device profiling, it allows for reproducible representations of color, for example, Adobe RGB and sRGB are two different absolute color spaces, both based on the RGB color model. When defining a color space, the reference standard is the CIELAB or CIEXYZ color spaces. For example, although several specific color spaces are based on the RGB color model, colors can be created in printing with color spaces based on the CMYK color model, using the subtractive primary colors of pigment. The resulting 3-D space provides a position for every possible color that can be created by combining those three pigments. Colors can be created on computer monitors with color spaces based on the RGB color model, a three-dimensional representation would assign each of the three colors to the X, Y, and Z axes. Note that colors generated on given monitor will be limited by the medium, such as the phosphor or filters. Another way of creating colors on a monitor is with an HSL or HSV color space, based on hue, saturation, with such a space, the variables are assigned to cylindrical coordinates. Many color spaces can be represented as three-dimensional values in this manner, but some have more, or fewer dimensions, Color space conversion is the translation of the representation of a color from one basis to another. The RGB color model is implemented in different ways, depending on the capabilities of the system used, by far the most common general-used incarnation as of 2006 is the 24-bit implementation, with 8 bits, or 256 discrete levels of color per channel. Any color space based on such a 24-bit RGB model is limited to a range of 256×256×256 ≈16.7 million colors. Some implementations use 16 bits per component for 48 bits total and this is especially important when working with wide-gamut color spaces, or when a large number of digital filtering algorithms are used consecutively. The same principle applies for any color space based on the color model. CIE1931 XYZ color space was one of the first attempts to produce a space based on measurements of human color perception. The CIERGB color space is a companion of CIE XYZ. Additional derivatives of CIE XYZ include the CIELUV, CIEUVW, RGB uses additive color mixing, because it describes what kind of light needs to be emitted to produce a given color. RGB stores individual values for red, green and blue, RGBA is RGB with an additional channel, alpha, to indicate transparency. Common color spaces based on the RGB model include sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB, scRGB, one starts with a white substrate, and uses ink to subtract color from white to create an image
